Thermistors are used to meausure the temperature of components like the extruder and heated bed. This thermistor has a 1% tolerance, so, it more accurately reads temperature than most of the thermistors available. PTFE sleeving and PTFE heatshrink are recommended to protect and insulate the wires (see accessories).

The default EPCOS 100k thermistor table provides data which is very close to actual, but, we will be uploading a more accuarate custom table in the near future.
